In the Senate on Monday, Mr. Brown
presented a petition of the Woman's

ington, and that no business cculd law
fully be done in the face of a single ob
jection. There was, therefore, he said,
but one thing left to be done, and that
was to adjourn at the earliest day possi
ble. The discussion of the adjournment
resolution stopped after Mr. Allison had
spoken. Ths Senate proceeded with the
considera’ ion of the tariff bill,and Mr. Vest
took the floor to speak upon it Mr.

mous consent ol the House for the imme
diate consideration of the Senate joint

statement that no more legislation should
be enacted this session.* The Speaker

ductions of bills and resolutions. Mr.
Oates, of Alibama, introduced a resolu
tion for an adjournment of Congress on
Wednesday, and there was much ap
plause, coupled with cries of “Vote, vote
vote,” by the few members present. Ev
ery one entered into it, and it seemed ev
ident from the press gallery that ihere
was not a member w'ho opposed it; it
however went over.

Others have reconsidered their former
action, and will remain. Dr. J. M.

died. He had been down with fever
nearly a week, and was already worn
out with continuous watching of sick in

killed. Twenty-six were injured, tw?o of
them dying while being conveyed to the
hospital. The gravel train was backing
on a siding when the freight train, which
was running on orders, appro ichcd at a
high rate of speed and went crashing
intfl the cars ahead. The killed and in
jured men were all on the gravel train,
with the exception of one brakeman on
the Pennsylvania train, who was killed
on his own train. So far as is known, the
responsibility rests upon the shoulders of
the bagman, who failed to flag the freight
train in time to prevent the accident.

Skill of the Hands.
Wo hear a great deal about tho won
derful precision and accuracy of machin
ery in these days, and of courso it is
wonderful; but tho degroa of accuracy
to which tho human hand rnn be trained
is equally wonderful.
P.aying-cards ara roquirod to bo cut
with tho sides quito parallel to each
other, becau3o if a pack bo trimmed by
a machine slightly wider at ono end than
the other, and they bccomelurnod “end
for end” in dealing, tho excess in width
of some cards over others at tho end of
tho pack will bo double tho variation in
any one card, which would facilitate
cheating, a very miauto variation being
perceptible. The men who tost these
cards for this make calipers of their fin
ger and thumb, and by passing them
along from ono end to tho othor, detect
a difference in width between the two
ends which it is difficult to measuro 1 y
any other means.
There are men employed in factorio3
where dried yeast is made, whoso busi
ness it is to put the ycait into packages
weighing a certain amount each. It is
on a table in front of thorn in a large
plastic mass, and there aro tho scales
for weighing it. But tho men do not
use tho scales. They simply separate
from the mass with their hands a lump
of it and put it up, and you may choo.so
at random and put it on tho scales, and
it will weigh exactly tho right amount,
the scales beam just balancing.
Whero largo numbers of oggs aro
handled and shipped to market, there
is a process known as “candleiag” eggs,
which consists in taking them into tho
hands, usually two eggs in each hand
at a time, and holding them up boforo
a lighted candle. Tho light shining
through them reveals to tho practiced
eye tho exact condition of the contents.
But some of tho men soon get so that
they do not need to me tho candle, tho
mere contact of their hands with tho
shells denoting tha condition of tho
egg just as infallibly and much more
quickly. And they distinguish in that
way not merely cg<js which aro dccid
cTry“Ua(’l,”but those which are just
barely 1 eginning to lose their freshness.
Here are three different ways in which
extreme skill of tho hands is shown by
p rsftcnt training: First, in detecting
slight differences in magnitude; second,
in weight; and lastly, in texture or
character of surface handled.—[Amer

America’s Largest Tree.
Mr. Warren, who has soon the big
trees of Mariposa, thorn of the Big
Tree Grove in Calaveras county, Cal.,
and all the big trees of the coast range,
says there is no place in California a
tree that approaches in size that on the
K iwcah. The men had with them no
rule, tape line or measure of any kind,
hut Mr. Warren measured tiio treo with
his rifli, which is four feet' in length.
He found it to bo 44 lengths of his gun
in circumference, at a point as high
above ground as he could reach. The top
of the tree ha 3 been broken off but it is
still of immense height.
Thi3 monster tree stands in a small
basin near the Kaweab, and is surround
ed on all sides by a wall of huge rugged
rocks. There is so much brush in tho
vicinity that the little valley in which
tho big tree stands is almost inaccessi
ble. A landmark and a uotablo feature
of the landscape is an immenso rock
known as Homer’s Noso. This reck
stands on a mountain that has an elo
vatiou of from 8000 to 9000 foot abovo
the level of tho soa. The rock itself is
about 500 feet in height. It is visible
above the pine forests from Tulare val
ley. The small valley in which the big
treo stands is a milo or two east of Ho
mer's Nose. About it are many giant
trees, several larger than the big trees
of Mariposa.
Lower down the Kaweah is what i 3
called tho Giant Forest. At this placo
a colony of socialists have taken up ten
square mile 3ot tim >or land. On their
land are many trees that are from 12 to
18 feet in diametor. Tho mountain
men say the big trees (tho sequoia) aro
a cross between tho redwood and tho
fir.—[Nevaia Enterprise.
A Cajtarisoned Horse at a Funeral.
The leading of a caparisoned horse be
hind the body of a dead soldier as was
done at the obsequies of General Sheri
dan at Washington is always an impres
sive and suggestive feature of a military
funeral, ar.d it is perhaps on this account
that a custom which comes from heathen
times is kept up. It is probably a mod
ification of r.n old practice which was
mdntained to some extent as late as
1720 of slaughtering the horse of a
dead warrior on his grave. The rever
sal of the boots is probably associated
with the reversal of guns and swords.—
